Everyone is welcome. Almost anything can be explored. And they play an important role for individuals and for communities.  For many Americans, their local library is an important source for free public access to computers and the Internet in their communities—and for some, it is their only access. Librarians are passionate about your community, they are passionate about what you geek and they are passionate about you. Come to our library and see what our community geeks!

We will be open on Thursday evening until 7 and on Saturday from 10 to 12. This will begin January 19th and 21st. We are excited about this and hope to see you there soon.

New Year is coming… http://rolla.mykansaslibrary.org/new-year-is-coming-what-was-your-favorite-book/ http://rolla.mykansaslibrary.org/new-year-is-coming-what-was-your-favorite-book/#comments Thu, 29 Dec 2011 13:39:07 +0000 librarian http://rolla.mykansaslibrary.org/?p=984 Hello all, it is so hard to believe this year is almost over! I had a comment on the Mrs. Pollifax’s books and it got me to thinking “What was my favorite book this year?” I had several books that I really enjoyed or that really intrigued me. Two nonfiction The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. For fiction I guess for total comfort it has to be the Mrs. Pollifax books. What have you read and enjoyed?

Remember we will be closed Monday, January 2nd, in observance of New Year’s Day. Hope to see you soon!

Don’t worry Santa will make it to your house just not to the library this year. Merry Christmas!

Don’t forget the library will be open each day over the holiday break except the two Monday’s, December 26th and January 2nd. We close for lunch from 12 to 1. Hope to see you at the library!
